When Fernando Tatis Jr. tested for positive for COVID-19 before Tuesday’s game and contact-tracing protocols knocked Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo out of San Diego’s lineup, it looked like maybe the Rockies would catch a break in facing a potent Padre offense.
Manny Machado had other ideas, hitting a two-run homer and a three-run triple to lead San Diego to an 8-1 win on Tuesday night. Five Rockies pitchers combine to give up six walks and the offense only managed three hits on a cold night at Coors Field with the Rockies dropping their fourth straight.

Good morning everybody! We’ve got just one more day until Jarred Kelenic Day. Let’s hope the M’s are able to steal one from the Dodgers today. Until then, here’s the latest from around baseball.
In Mariners news.
In advance of Kelenic’s upcoming MLB debut, Corey Brock at The Athletic recaps the outfielder’s journey to the big leagues. ($)
Julio Rodríguez had a great day at the dish yesterday, going 3-for-4 and falling a triple shy of the cycle. Here’s video of his double.
DENVER (AP) Already minus star Fernando Tatis Jr. and two backups before the first pitch because of COVID-19 concerns, the San Diego Padres then needed to pull Wil Myers and Eric Hosmer in the middle of the game for virus-related reasons.
The shorthanded Padres wound up beating Colorado 8-1 on Tuesday night, boosted by Manny Machado’s home run and five RBIs, but suddenly found themselves in a precarious position.
Padres manager Jayce Tingler said he anticipated being able to play Wednesday’s doubleheader at Coors Field as scheduled.
“You never really plan out these scenarios, but we know things are going to come up,” he said. “Our guys are going to be ready. If they’re coming from Triple-A or whatever, we’ve got a lot of faith in our minor league crew that’s preparing these guys and they’re going to come in. At the end of the day, we’re planning on 14 innings tomorrow. We’ve got (Yu) Darvish and (Blake) Snell going and we’re going to be ready to play ball
